Uses of Sintrom

Sintrom belongs to the group of anticoagulants, antiplatelet and fibrinolytic drugs. The main ingredient of Sintrom is Acenocoumarol, which is a vitamin K antagonist. Vitamin K is a component for the synthesis of important blood clotting factors in the body. The reduced form of vitamin K is a cofactor of a Carboxylase used to convert Glutamic Acid to Gamma - Carboxyglutamic Acid. Four coagulation factors II, VII, IX, X and two inhibitors (Protein C and S) contain the necessary Gamma Carboxyglutamate groups that attach to Phospholipid surfaces to catalyze their interactions. Therefore, Acenocoumarol has an anticoagulant effect through inhibiting the formation of active forms of clotting factors. Specifically, Acenocoumarol inhibits the formation of clotting factors through interfering with the reduction mechanism of vitamin K in the liver.
